Well gents here it is. Purchased from GL out of Newcastle, DE. on 01/30/14
It made the 1200 mile trip from DE to Palmetto Bay, Fl. without drama.
Averaged 8 MPG at 60 MPH.
We first drove this green giant from Newcastle to Tega Kay SC., were my good friend and recovery assistant TS lives. He was essential in the recovery process of this vehicle and I will forever be grateful for his time and efforts.
He is also a proud member of SS and owns two M939s.
The trip from DE to SC was 10 hrs. and 535 miles, under marginal weather conditions.
After a three day rest, the final leg of the trip was concluded after 14 hrs and 728 miles on the road. This gentle giant performed flawlessly. CTIS farted and burped as expected and all pressures and temps remained nominal through out the journey.
It now resides in the warm S. Florida sun were it will retire to a life of TLC.:D

Darned nice looking 923 jetjock and glad your recovery went as hoped, these are very nice trucks to drive longer distances, my recovery on mine was just over 600 miles and no problems were encountered there either. Have fun and enjoy the truck!
